It's a new "arcade" racer from Xicat (publisher of X-plane), programmed
by Inca Gold. For $20, it can't be THAT bad, can it?

Suppose it depends on how you define THAT.  <g>
Actually, there is a demo available that provides
a pretty good idea what one might expect from the
full title.  I found it to be a lot like London
Racer.  While the cars are crude, the sense of
speeding down a freeway at night is pretty decent.
One could do worse with $20.

I agree. Its fun for $20. Don't expect much though.

I tried the warez version to see what it was like...  in two words..."Utter
crap"  Limited selection of cars...minimal game types...no in-car view, not
even a rear view mirror...need I go on?

IMHO, Don't waste your money.
